I got the same error when an imported library was trying to create a directory at path "./logs/".

It turns out that the library was trying to create it at the wrong location, i.e. inside the folder of my python interpreter instead of the base project directory. I solved the issue by setting the "Working directory" path to my project folder inside the "Run Configurations" menu of PyCharm. If instead you're using the terminal to run your code, maybe you just need to move inside the project folder before running it.

I was facing the same error while running command  pip install --upgrade pip  in a virtual venvironment  created with python -m venv venv   using the --user flag fixed the problem for me  pip install --upgrade pip --user  If the problem not resolved use --user flag in a command prompt with admin rights

Sometimes it occurs when some installations are not completed correctly  the process is stuck  or a file is still opened  So  when you try to run the installation again and the installation requires deleting  you can see the aforementioned error  In my case  shutting down the python processes and command prompt utilization helped

Maybe you wrongly set permission on python3  For instance if for the file permission is set like   os chmod  spam txt   0777   -- gt  This will lead to SyntaxError    This syntax was used in Python2  Now if you change like      os chmod  spam txt   777  --  This is still worst   Your permission will be set wrongly since are not on  octal  but on decimal   Afterwards you will get permission Error if you try for instance to remove the file  PermissionError   WinError 5  Access is denied    Solution for python3 is quite easy       os chmod  spam txt   0o777  --  The syntax is now ZERO and o  0o
